1 john 1:9 is directed to the unbeliever. Once we are Born Again all of our sins past, present and future have been forgiven. As Christians we will need to confess our sins and repent to restore our fellowship with God, how ever the forgiveness issue has been settled once for all with the death of Jesus Christ. Read these bible versus Hebrews 10:10-12, Romans 6:10, Hebrews 9:26, 1 Peter 3 :18, Hebrews 10:14. By saying that Christians must confess for our forgiveness puts a lot of emphasis on us trying to remember ever wrongful thought or action or intention we ever did for our entire Christian life. Forgiveness is not contingent on what we do or say as Christians it is all about what Jesus Christ did on the cross.

​@@Domenico-br5hd We do not need to confess to a priest to receive forgiveness. Colossians 2:13-14 says: When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. Once we accept Jesus into our hearts thru faith you will be saved. Read Romans 10:9. At the point you make this profession of faith and make Jesus Lord of your life your legal sin debt has been cancelled. This does not mean you will not continue to sin, since you will now have the Holy Spirit living in you there will be a battle between our flesh and the spirit that lives in you. So when you do sin you need to confess to God and repent of your sins. This is the sanctification process that starts when you put your faith into Jesus Christ. I hope this helps.

Then to speak again before going to sleep and reflect on trials and temptations and give thanks for his help when I got close to sinning or ask again for help if i succumbed.

He is coming soon One key Scripture reference to being “born again” or “regenerated” is John 3,5, where Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” This verse is so important that those who say baptism is just a symbol must deny that Jesus here refers to baptism. “Born again” Christians claim the “water” is the preached word of God. But the early Christians uniformly identified this verse with baptism. Water baptism is the way, they said, that we are born again and receive new life-a fact that is supported elsewhere in Scripture (Rom. 6,3-4; Col. 2,12-13; Titus 3,5).

🤔💭⁉️ GUILT & SHAME are _not_ tools God uses, only CONVICTION⁉️ What do you think CONVICTION is⁉️ If you're CONVICTED in a court of law, it means the judge declares you GUILTY. If you're GUILTY, then that's _definitely_ something for which you should feel SHAME. So, yes, God does _indeed_ use GUILT & SHAME as tools of correction & discipline, and rightly so!! If someone doesn't feel GUILT, they'll instead feel INNOCENT. If someone doesn't feel SHAME, then they'll be SHAMELESS & UNREPENTANT about their sin. Rather, as believers & saved sinners, God does _not_ use CONDEMNATION as a tool of correction & discipline. Satan, on the other hand, specializes in CONDEMNATION. What's the difference, you ask?? GUILT & SHAME are the natural consequence of breaking God's eternal law. Unbelievers, or UNsaved sinners, are all under God's CONDEMNATION & WRATH, under the sentence of destruction. We who are saved sinners _were_ all _once_ under God's CONDEMNATION & WRATH, headed for destruction, but Christ stepped in on our behalf, so even though we are _absolutely_ GUILTY & ASHAMED for ever single sin we continue to commit, when we turn ourselves in & confess (instead of remaining a fugitive), Christ then takes our GUILT & SHAME from us & puts it upon Himself, and _in return_ applies His HOLY RIGHTEOUSNESS to our hearts & His INNOCENCE to our conscience. That's why it's _so_ crucial and _literally_ vital for us to confess.... This is what Jesus meant by washing the disciples feet. He told Peter he was already clean but needed to allow Jesus to wash his feet. Why does James follow his instruction to those who are sick with the instruction that we are to confess our sins to one another?? Because just like Psalm 32 & numerous other Psalms, sin causes _spiritual_ death, which will be felt _physically_ if it's not healed.... Why has there been such a sudden _epidemic_ of mental health issues the last several decades, and predominantly in the United States & the West?? Because the dominant _atheistic_ culture promotes so-called "human progress" by means of embracing any & all natural desires the corrupt human mind can conjure up, and at the same time condemning all feelings of GUILT & SHAME as products of old social institutions, like family & religion & out-dated value systems.... The GOSPEL is _still_ relevant & so _desperately_ needed today, _both_ in the secular world & in the Church: REPENT & BELIEVE in Jesus Christ who will FORGIVE all your sins & HEAL all your diseases‼️🙏🏼 ☝🏼 🙌🏼 💯

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." - Romans 5:8, 12-13 KJV "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. ...

And what about your secret sin.God says in scripture, that I shall forgive secret sins also???.Do God forgive our secret sins ,if we confess our sins to God , but not to other peoples.

[@jesuschristlovesyou2015]

Yes God will forgive you but the Bible also says Confess your sins to one another, so confess to others to get that weight out of your shoulders, Jesus loves you ❤️

We are ALL sinners that fall short of the glory of God. And we ALL are deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (sin is evil and it is the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus suffered soooo much for us, and that’s why He died on the cross for ALL our sins (past, present, AND future sins) and rose from the dead 3 days later! Jesus did all this because He loves us sooooo much, you can’t even fully comprehend it! And you may have eternal life with Him if you repent (to change your mind about Jesus, to believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord our God) and have faith in Him, then you will be saved! (Let’s make it clear that being a good person WILL NOT get you into Heaven! You can only be saved by the grace God will show you, if you repent and have faith in Jesus and in what Jesus did for us on the cross and that He rose from the dead 3 days after He died for us! ONLY THEN, will you will be saved)! And do not wait because you do not know when you will die (sit and think deeply about that. You have NO CLUE when you will die! Today could be your last day, tonight could be your last night. You can die in your sleep or even in the next hour!) Im saying all this because I want you to realize how urgent and important it is to have Jesus! If you have Jesus, you will NEVER have to worry! You won’t have to worry about school, family problems, life, or EVEN DEATH because you will have the LORD your GOD, RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE HOUR, EVER SINGLE MINUTE and EVERY SINGLE SECOND of your life! GOD can help you through ANY challenge, through ANY hardship, and through ANY depressing time in your life! GOD WILL NEVER leave you, GOD WILL NEVER forget about you, GOD WILL NEVER betray you, GOD WILL NEVER forsake you, and GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!! And that is why GOD is calling you RIGHT NOW to be saved!!

None are RIGHTEOUS?! Well GODS WORD says that without HIM, you are NOTHING! Remain in ME AND I will remain in you. A PART from me, you can do nothing - Jesus Christ IS THAT "VINE" and HIS followers are "HIS BRANCHES" unless you are CONNECTED TO HIM, you will bear NO FRUIT! So, can someone who is NOT "RIGHTEOUS" can they "BEAR ANY GOOD FRUITS"?! Answer: NO!

[@FLpalm]

This is IGNORA SCRIPTURA. Let's here what jesus has to say about the subject. James 2:19 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail. AND WHO HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS ON BEHALF OF JESUS?“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”…Yes the Catholic church which can trace it's pope back to Peter.

I committed sexual sins against my neighbour's girlfriend, and she does not know, should I confess to them?

[@frick6946]

in my opinion, it sounds like you just had fantasies and thoughts and may have acted on them in your own home , and I wouldn't. Then that's what they will think about when they see you. Plus, especially don't if they're not Christians. If all you had was thoughts, fantasies and then acted on those thoughts and fantasies, I wouldn't tell them. Just ask God for forgiveness and try to the best of your ability not to do it again.

[@Jake-f4w]

Hey guys, who is this pastor??

[@RoseSharon7777]

Jesus did NOT offer his life for our future sins! Psalms 49:3. If we willfully sin there is no more sacrifice for sins. He was the propitiation for our PAST SINS read Romans.

[@parkersheahan5471]

It is possible that I do not understand you, and that im imature in this matter, but if Christ died for the sins of our past, then are we not condemned when we sin against God? Just as Israel was condemned before God? If Christ's sacrifice only counted our past transgressions, then is it not true that today we are still under the law? Should we not give animal sacrifices to God? God's forgiviness through the sacrifice of the infinitely valuable Christ covered all sins of those who acknowledge God in Spirit and in truth. It is true that the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." However there is nothing stating that Christ died for the sins of the past separate from the sins of our future. Otherwise there would still be a need for an offering today. Then there is no security for us. Romans 8:1-2, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death." Now are those who are in Christ without sin? 1 John 1:8, "If we claim to be without sin, we decieve ourselves and the truth is not in us." If we are separate from the law of sacrifice and still with sin, then were is our salvation? John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." For God so loved the world, past tense, that He gave, past tense, His one and only Son, that whoever believes, present tense, in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For salvation is not of the works of the law, but it is in our faith in Christ eternal, for we have all fallen short of the Glory of The Lord. Galatians 3:7, "Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham." Yet what does Paul say, speaking in the truth? Galatians 3:10, "For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written, 'cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.' Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because the 'righteous will live by faith.'" What is the payment for our lives if Christ is not our offering? It is clear that we are not in the law, otherwise we would die by it. So therefore, a sacrifice of great value must have been given for us, otherwise we would be dead. That sacrifice was bought for with the most valuable blood, that of God himself.

[@RoseSharon7777]

@@louisemitchell3418 The bible is CLEAR, if you continue to sin unto death after you come to knowledge of the truth, you will perish. Period.

[@RoseSharon7777]

@Solar Sharp Shooter Clearly youve never read the new covenant for yourself. Why do you think you must pick up YOUR OWN CROSS and die?

[@RoseSharon7777]

@Solar Sharp Shooter TLDR.

[@RoseSharon7777]

@Solar Sharp Shooter No you didn't.

[@donaldduke2233]

JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS. If, today, I need a Catholic Priest to forgive my sins that means that Jesus Christ was a failure in his attempt to have God forgive my sins and I need this priest to do it right, demonstrating that the Priest is more powerful than Christ. Do you believe that Jesus Christ was a failure? I don't.

[@mr.nobodyhere]

1 John 1:9 is written to the nation of ISRAEL in "time past/old testiment mosaic law" Jesus on the cross was the END of the law for us today in the world. 2 Corinthians 5:18,19 says God was in Christ no longer charging our sins against THE WORLD but placed our sins on Jesus Christ. Sin cannot be charged where there is no law. Jesus on the cross for ISRAEL meant that all of ISRAELS PAST sins were forgiven until Jacobs trouble/Great tribulation. Dont miss the double feature on the cross, or the progressive, dispensational nature of scripture rightly divided. Otherwise, you'll never understand Gods word the way He intended you to understand it: Gods prescribed study method is found here: 2 Timothy 2:15 kjv Hope this helps. Grace and peace.

[@anthonycalipjo8669]

You're just twisting words my friend. Confession is confession. James said it clear, you just don't want to accept the definition of the Catholic faith...so simple and yet you're struggling. Because you know there's no going around that verse...😂🤣❤️

[@beadoll8025]

Confession has zero to do with unnecessary priests of today. Priests claim to absolve another's sins when only God can do that. Catholicism teaches falsehoods and many Unbiblical rituals and doctrines.
